I must've been drunk when I picked Nimzo Guernica. Oh, well. Kasparov's Gambit is performing better than expected so far. I have a fond place in my heart for that program, because I bought it not long after I bought CM 4000 Turbo, which was the first chess program I ever bought for my first PC.

Just curious, is there a table out there anywhere (maybe you or BenRedic has one) which shows which chess programs are available on which emulators? I'm sure there are programs that will run on only one, and then others that will run on multiple ones.

Also, what does the FM, CM, etc before the name of the chess programs on your list indicate? And what program are you using to do the round robin pairings?

actually I am no one to talk
while I don't play chess where I eat...I do set up my chess computers on my desk
the desk is barely big enough to fit one large and one small chess computer at the same time

if I play a match between two large chess computers I have to resort to extraordinary measures:

10o kilobucks? That is marvelous, Steve!
Perhaps in order to celebrate this agreement you could send me as a token of love a super 9 challenger which I desire since so long time ago.

What is affection without proofs regards?

just in case someone took it seriously, it is just a joke.
My health is excellent. In the last medical check the guy gave me at the very least 6 months of life.
So do not worry regards

I have a list somewhere on a computer that crashed recently... When I get chance to fix it I will see if I can find the list and post it.

The computer is sitting on another dining room table... lol
